Verdict
WALHAAN failed to make an impact over fences last time, but his latest start in this sphere saw him finish a good third under an attacking ride in a 1½m Leopardstown handicap and a fourth C&D success could be on the cards for this 9-y-o. Tribal Star is a solid type and is likely to be in the thick of things, while Nocturnal will be a threat if able to build on her latest effort and handicap debutant Game Point could have a part to play, too.
